I think the performance under load on Mac OS X isn't so bad. But it
does use a lot of CPU on idle, for whatever reason.
There are somethings that can be done to make things run better on
Mac OS X. For example, on Mac OS X and Windows, Pd uses double-
precision math functions while Pd only uses single-precision floats.
If Pd used the single-precision functions, then things would probably
use a bit less CPU.

Just a thought, but is everyone running in Jack mode or Portaudio mode? and following on from that, would running in Jack mode be subject to this iTunes eq crap? (Apple, what is that about? -a step too far i think)

the patch i'm currently using has a base cpu output of around 50% and then it goes up to about 70% when running. ..but that's with 8 channels of drums, 4 synth channels, 8 sampler channels and dsp effects + gui for all of them.
i didn't know that about the itunes eq either. is there a way to turn that off?
